‘The Illimitable Time Before’ features Mark Jenkins (synthesizers / piano / guitar / drum machines) alongside guests: Martyn Greenwood (Concept Devices - sequencers), Dave Gate (Hyberus - modular synth sounds), Hannah Chappell (Cellistica - looping cello) and Noam Chomsky (MIT - dialog sample).
Inspired by the Roman philosophy of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the tracks ponder concepts of time, life, death and identity, with multi-layered sequencer sounds, ticking clocks, driving electronic drum rhythms, Fairlight CMI samples and powerful lead guitar.
It’s a must for fans of lengthy TANGERINE DREAM style pieces, Klaus Schulze with Wolfgang Tiepold on cello, the more experimental albums of Vangelis, Robert Fripp’s looping music, Michael Hoenig, Peter Michael Hamel and other creators of rhythmic hypnotic electronic sounds.
